Three Kingdoms

Chapter 390: There are gentlemen in Wei, but the country has no reason

The early morning sunlight shines into the house through the window lintel,

Although the house is not big, it is extremely clean and tidy inside. There are not many furnitures, just a table, a seat and incense, and that's it.

It's just that the table is painted with high-quality red paint, and the paint surface is smooth and flat, like a mirror that can be used to recognize people's shadows; the mat is made of extremely fine bamboo strips, delicate and soft, and is something only wealthy families would use; The aromatherapy is even more exquisite, consisting of upper and lower parts. The upper part is composed of three layers of budding lotus petals. Each row of lotus has eleven petals, and each petal is engraved with flower stems of different sizes, which is very clear. The top of the cover is decorated with an exquisite bird, standing gracefully and looking into the distance. The lower part is a cylindrical hollow pillar, with a vivid shape, simple and natural shape. At this time, curls of green smoke are rising, filling the entire room with melancholy. fragrance.

On the red painted table, some yarrows are spread, no more, no less, exactly fifty, which is exactly the number of Dayan.

The ancients liked to use yarrow, mostly because they believed that the grass would not dry up over time and could communicate with the gods.

There is a saying: "Polygonum grows on the earth and withers in the Yin Dynasty for a thousand years. At one hundred years old, it will produce forty-nine stems, enough to bear the number of heaven and earth. At five hundred years old, its shape gradually becomes dry and solid. At seven hundred years old, it has no branches and leaves. At nine hundred years old, its color is Purple like iron, there is purple energy above a thousand years old, and there is a spiritual dragon and a turtle lying underneath."

Therefore, people in the Han Dynasty used yarrow because the dried solid color was valued for its dark color. If it could really have a purple aura lingering around it, it would be a top-notch artifact, and it could be used for divination without fail...

Although the yarrows on the table don't have any so-called purple aura, they are very deep in color, and they are probably rubbed and used frequently, making each one very shiny and moist.

Wei Qian was still dressed in white, and he was sitting behind the desk with his eyes closed, calm and composed, with an expression neither sad nor happy, and a long breath.

Suddenly, Wei Jian stretched out his hands, first took out a piece of yarrow on the table, and then put it aside. Then he flicked the yarrow with the back of his hand, and immediately divided the yarrow into two pieces, holding it in his left and right hands. Then he took a piece of yarrow from his right hand and clamped it between the little fingers of his left hand. The remaining part was divided into four quarters, and the first transformation was quickly carried out...

Next comes the second change...

Three changes form a line, and six lines form a hexagram.

The movements are like flowing clouds and flowing water without any stagnation. It is obvious that Wei Ji often does this six-yao lesson and is extremely proficient.

The six lines have been completed and the hexagrams have emerged.

Gen goes up and down.

There is fortune, good luck, no blame, and chastity.

This is the second time in the past few days that Wei Qian has divined this hexagram...

At this moment, the light outside the house flickered, and an old man slowly walked in.

Wei Jian quickly put down the yarrow in his hand and stood with his hands down.

Although the old man is old and his hair is already graying at the temples, he has a strong body and a ruddy complexion. Although he is wearing long clothes, he has a majestic air in his movements.

"My nephew has not been far away to welcome me, but I still hope that my uncle will forgive me." Wei Jian bowed his hands.

"No need, I got up in the morning to sit in meditation, but I couldn't feel at ease, so I came here." Uncle Wei Jing motioned for Wei Jing to sit down and said slowly.

I can’t feel at ease...

Wei Ju was silent. Wei Qi can naturally understand that the old uncle would be like this. If it were anyone else, no matter how stable their personality is, they would inevitably have second thoughts when encountering such a big event. What's more, it involves not one person, but a whole family. man of.

But the opportunity now is indeed too tempting.

Wei Jian knew what the old uncle wanted to ask when he came over. After all, his uncle was not quite the same as his father. At least he didn't understand it when he made some preparations, and he didn't know why he wanted to do this. So after knowing the situation , although he will not oppose the decision of his brother, the head of the Wei family, but it is inevitable that there will be some obstacles in his heart that he cannot overcome.

After all, when Wei Jian arrived in Linfen yesterday, he only had a brief interview in the evening. The meaning expressed may not be complete yet, so the old man went out of his way early in the morning to come in person. Of course, it was not just for the sake of talking to him. Wei Jian just said something like "I'm in a bad mood this morning."

"Of all the princes in the world, the Wei family is the last." Wei Jian was silent for a while, and while putting the yarrow back into the box one by one, he said slowly, since his uncle did not hesitate to come in person instead of summoning him, it is also a good idea. As a sign of attaching great importance to the matter, Natural Health Minister himself simply spoke more directly and clearly.

When Uncle Wei heard this, he turned his head slightly and stared closely at his nephew: "What do you mean?"

As soon as these words came out, it became very clear that the old uncle's problem was not that he didn't understand what Wei Ju was talking about, but this matter...

My nephew has such a big heart!

Weiguo, a vassal state during the Zhou Dynasty, was founded by Uncle Kang, the younger brother of King Wu of Zhou Dynasty. It was a pure-bred descendant of King Zhou with his upright and upright roots.

In the beginning, Weiguo was still an important pillar of the Zhou Dynasty, and even helped the Zhou Dynasty pacify the Rong and Hu. It was once strong and became one of the powerful leaders of the princes.

However, any strong country seems to begin to decline from within. The extravagant and extravagant Wei Yigong weakened due to frequent civil strife and was defeated by the Di people. Wei also lost the country. Later, he re-established the country in Chuqiu and survived. From then on it became a small country.

After entering the Warring States Period, the Wei Dynasty had declined and was struggling to survive between Zhao, Wei, Qi and Chu.

However, such a small country has never been abolished. Even after Qin Shihuang unified the six countries, he still did not conquer Weiguo. It was not until Qin II that it was completely destroyed.

Therefore, Weiguo was the last prince to be destroyed during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.

As for the Wei surname, after Wei was destroyed by Qin, the descendants of Wei's nobles took the country's name "Wei" or "Kang" as their surname. Ji Zi once said: "There are gentlemen in Wei, but the country has no reason."

"This time is not that time." Uncle Wei Jian said.

Wei Qian put the last yarrow into the box, closed the lid, and said lightly: "What's the difference?"

Uncle Wei was stunned and twitched his beard, but he didn't say anything, but was thoughtful.

Wei Jian gently pushed the box to the side of the table and said with a smile: "The tripod was lost in the past, but now it has lost its handle. In the past, there were Han, Zhao and Wei, and Jin was divided into three parts. Today, there are two Yuan and Yang occupying the north and south. What's the difference?"

The old man was surprised at first, but his surprised expression did not last long. Soon he became calm and calm at the end, and said: "It is fat and fat, but it has bones. Can it be eaten easily? If you take it in a hurry, it will be easy to eat." He has lost his plate."

After all, the sense of honor and recognition the people of the Wei family have for the surname "Wei" is not much worse than that of the current famous families in the world such as the Yuan family and the Yang family. The old man's tone didn't sound like he was objecting, but like he was reminding——

There are too many bones here now. If you want to eat them, don’t put your own pot in them...

Wei Jian nodded and expressed his gratitude to his uncle for his kind reminder: "First implement the strategy of rebelling against the army, and then you can fish in troubled waters. Now that one bone has been removed, just pick off the other two..."

The old man took a deep breath and said, "Only two bones left?"

"The other is actually a blade, not a broken bone." Wei Qian gently brushed the white clothes on his body, as if doing this was as easy as brushing off the dust on his clothes.

"...Who is holding the blade?"

"My nephew is about to say goodbye to his uncle."

Uncle Wei was silent for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "That's not right! You stay here, and the matter of holding the blade... I'd better go for it! It's been a long time since I've been galloping, and I've got a lot of flesh on my shoulders."

"Uncle!" Wei Jian blinked and said, "How dare your nephew work for your uncle?"

Unexpectedly, my uncle sneered and said, "If that's not the case, what are you doing in Linfen?"

After being exposed by the old man, Wei Qian didn't take it seriously, so he stood up and went to his uncle, and bowed down firmly, "In this case, I will leave it to my uncle!"

"Hahaha..." The old man looked up to the sky and smiled. He didn't look up at him. He just nodded, got up and walked out, "I have been practicing martial arts all my life, and I never thought that I would have a place to show my skills. What a joy, what a joy! "

Just when the old man was about to go out, he suddenly paused and asked: "...What predictions are there?"

"...Gen goes up and down."

"Is there any change?" Uncle Wei asked.

"This hexagram remains unchanged."

"... There is a good future... a good thing... a good thing..." Uncle Wei Jing laughed again and strode away.

Don't you feel like every general in the Three Kingdoms didn't kneel down after being captured? ! !

As a result, they were all respected very much, and they untied their restraints with their own hands, and put them on with their big cloaks...

Those who shouted for mercy were all dead...

However, the same is true for civil servants and lobbyists when they go to foreign countries. They are so eloquent that the other party is shocked and asks, how many people in your country are as talented as you...

At this time, the lobbyists said, haha, I am just a scumbag, and our country has many more awesome people than me...

Most of the actual history is the opposite...

Those on the military side are basically caught and will be killed if they don't surrender, and they have nothing to say.

Only the civil servants are involved. After all, the nobles are too involved. Sometimes they have to consider whether their own side is involved. Killing them is too troublesome, so they can deal with it with the excuse of "not killing them"...

Therefore, Cao Jili’s true love for Guan Er is...
